I graduated from Georgia Tech in 2015: and I presently work as a Lead Designer/ Project Manager between Kenya and Somalia. In 2016, I decided to move back to Kenya to pursue job opportunity. In 2017, I was lucky as I got the a chance of working on massive projects in Somalia. Most of these projects are part of the country’s rebuilding effort after the civil war. The project are mostly funded by nonprofit organizations from around the world. Within Kenya I had the opportunity of working as a Lead Designer, interior designer, and Project Manager .

CARBON & ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

ANALYSIS OF MY LIFESTYLE IMPACT

According to my carbon footprint calculator, the result of my consumption category indicate that my mobility is the highest. Due to my lifestyle my total Ecological Footprint is at 72%, and my Carbon Footprint is 10.8. This is very since the global high since the standard global average is 4 tons, and this is what we must strive for in order Io reduce my carbon footprint in this world. In additio, if we want to avoid global warming, we all need to strive to get it under 2 tons by 2050.

According to the consumption category chart my mobility consumption is the highest followed by goods and services on the consumption category. By

understanding that I have to reduce/ improve my mobility preference, and opt for other option. Presently, in Kenya the public transportation is mostly privatized; as a result, its not reliable or well organized .

PLANNED ACTION OF REDUCING MY CARBON FOOTPRINT EQUALS TO:

1. Saving of 2,491 gallons of gas 2. Planting of 567 Trees

3. Recycling of 15,751 tons of waste

SWELL MUSEUM

ARCH 4 - STUDIO PROJECT

EQUITABLE COMMUNITIES

Boston was originally a hub of immigrants, and the proposed museum celebrates the enduring stories of immigrants that define and strengthen what it means to be American. Physically the museum retains the waterfront connection with the city through a passageway that represents immigrant’s experience. The museum is an intergrated building made of streel structure elements that uses

sustainable approaches and the design considers daylighting, eco friendly and recyclable materials. The Museum utilizes 20% as buildable area, while the rest of site is used as a green space that integrate different activities, such as open gathering spaces, sculpture gardens, restaurant, swimming, and expands the harborwalk connection to the waterfront.

SITE ANALYSIS

Proposed site is located in North End neighborhood, and its popularly known for its Italian American population and Italian restaurants. The district is an important Boston Landmark, and has been a magnet for immigrants since its founding in the 1600s. Due to its proximity to the waterfront the area also served as an entry point into the country; as a result, in the 1800’s the are flourished into vibrant neighborhood that boomed because of the transatlantic commerce.

The proposed museum complies with all current zoning that govern the height, setbacks, use, and F.A.R ; as a result the building sits on 20% of the parcel.

The majority of the landscape, including the Harborwalk, which is to remain accessible to the public.

CIRCULATION

The museum is accessedat differentpoints through its major and minor connectors. Due to its proximity to the waterfront, the site layout utilizes the existing harborwalk trail that wraps around the site for circulation the existing greenery. The main entry point is on Commercial Street across Clark Street and goes all the way to the waterfront. The museum main access is in the middle volume, while the retail entrance is located on the first volume.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS

SITE STRATEGY PROPOSAL

The proposed site falls under the Greenway Underlay District and is prone to future flooding; as a result, the main idea was to to create a resilient riverfront design that reflects and identify the history of the site and its neighborhood. To protect the museum from future storm surges; the existing landscape is raised and then terraced throughout the site to maintain the waterfront connection. In addition, the landscape proposal introduces natural buffer zones (native plants) around the waterfront edge, which serves as both green spaces and storm surge. The layout the museum responds

to the flooding issue; whereby storages, exhibitions, MEP and other essential programs are placed on the top levels. Main goal of the Museum is to educated others on local cultures, highlight the daily life of immigrants, display alternative perspectives on history, and connect people from different background. The Museum collections is organized by three main themes: images including photography, as well as posters, drawings press, cartoons, comic books, audiovisual materials; objects of daily life; and works of art concerning immigration, territory, borders, and roots protection.

SITE ANALYSIS

The proposed site is located on North End neighborhood with access to the waterfront. The location of the sun was critical in determining the amount of daylight the Museum will be receiving throughout the year. Through, Solar studies it was helpful to visualize the impact of natural light and shadows on the exteriors and interiors of the Museum.

The sun path was used as a visual representation that highlights sun’s range of movement across the sky of the proposed site to determine the angle and type of sun shading required.

INTERGRATED DESIGN

PROPOSED MUSEUM

By understanding the building sun path, I wanted to take advantage of the passive solar; whereby I maximized the amount of solar gain in the building. As a result, the design employs insulating glass on the truss south facing façade, which has sun shading that blocks the direct sunlight in summer months and permits it to enter in winter. Photovoltaic panels are placed

on the roof to as a clean energy sourcce thats renewable. To control solar gain on the southern facade a double wall between the exhibition wall and the exterior façade was introduced. The building also employs Ground-source VRF heat pump system to provide due to its efficient HVAC system. Due to its capacity of reducing the building

overall energy consumption and being able to have the units in heating mode or cooling mode at the same time.I have also introduce rainwater collection system on the roof that harvests rain and store it in an underground cistern; this can be used for toilets and gardening .The permeable pavers and the bioswales are used to control storm water runoff around the site.

REGIONAL ARCHITECTURE

BOSTON AREA

The architecture of Boston consists of a robust combination of old and new architecture. Being among the oldest cities in North America, Boston, Massachusetts (along with its surrounding area); as a result, it has accumulated buildings and structures starting from the 17th-century to the present day. Throughout the years the city of Boston has evolved from a small port town to a large cosmopolitan center known for education, industry, finance, and technology.

In addition, the city is known for its granite buildings stemming from its early days.It is also known for being one of the origins of Federal Architecture. Presently, most of the city’s buildings and structures have evolved from a small port town to a large cosmopolitan center for education, industry, finance, and technology.

Boston’s architecture is undoubtedly unique since it is a combination of both old and modern styles. Throughout the city you will see structures built in the Georgian, Greek Revival, Victorian, Art Deco, Gothic Revival, Brutalist and other architectural styles.

REGIONAL MATERIALS

NORTH END, BOSTON

Due to the site being located on North End, Boston ;the three main materials that was used on the proposed museum were steel, insulating glass, and concrete.Within the site area most of newer structure pefer using steel due its shelf-life and energy efficientry.

BRICK

The Boston Bricks are an example of all the amazing public art in Boston. From large installations, like the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, to hidden stained glass windows, the city has something for everyone

STEEL

For over a century, steel has reigned in the construction industry, and it’s used today for every building application. During the Industrial Revolution, the material experienced mass production, and it can be combined with other materials like glass, and cold-rolled and galvanized flat products that have high-elastic limits, toughness, and weldability.

Within the North End area most of the

INSULATING GLASS

Since the 1940’s, homes in the US has been enjoying the benefits of double glazing of windows. Due to their improved thermal efficiency and sealed airtight units; double glazing started to take off for both windows and doors.

Boston being in a cold region, double glazing is very useful because the house is not only insulated from the weather and temperature outside, but also noise

CONCRETE

Exposed concrete became the skin and bones of Boston’s civic architecture in the early 1960s. Like other great American cities, it suffered from a severe postwar urban crisis, prompting leaders to embark on a series of multimillion-dollar urban regeneration projects.

ECONOMIC HISTORY

INITIATIVE, POPULATION & INCOME

The city of Boston was first incorporated as a town in 1630 and then as a city in 1822, making it one of the oldest cities in the United States. Over the years the City has evolved into a center for innovation and entrepreneurship as well as for social and political change. Presently, Boston has become the economic engine and cultural hub of New England.

As the seat of Suffolk County, the capital city of Massachusetts, and the region’s

hub, Boston is home to approximately 685,000 residents, many world-renowned institutions of higher education, some of the world’s finest inpatient hospitals, numerous successful corporations, and many professional sports teams and cultural organizations. As a result, it ranks as the 21st largest city by population in the United States, and among the highest in concentrations of employment in the U.S. Additionally, numerous initiatives are being implemented such as the

Economic equity to resolve wage gap .

The city presently is working with different stakeholders to encourage affordability of housing within the urban areas, as a effort of reducing displacement, and improve quality of life.In addition, the city promotes, healthy environment, climate change, an invest in open space, arts and culture.

RACIAL HISTORY

INITIATIVE, POPULATION & INCOME

Presenlty, Boston has a density of 13,841 people per square mile (5,344/square kilometer), and Greater Boston is the 4th most densely populated region in the United States

BOSTON DIVERSITY

Acoording to 2013 Census, Boston is experiencing colossal growth lately thanks to an immigration boom, and the Boston area gained close to 55,000 residents in the two years following the 2010 Census. The city’s population in the 1950s had 94.7% white people, and they were majority of the city’s population.

However, this racial distribution changed in the last 50 years, and the state is experiencing rapid growth. By 2000, nonHispanic whites accounted for just 49.5% of the population, which made Boston a majority-minority city for the first time in its history. Over the last decade, the city has experienced a great deal of gentrification, and the percentage of non-Hispanic whites was starting to grow. By 2010, this trend reversed once more, partially due to the housing crash, and the minority population rebounded in Boston.

WALK SCORE

PEOPLE FRIENDLY CITY

North End is a neighborhood has the distinction of being the city’s oldest residential community, where Europeans have continuously inhabited since it was colonized in the 1630s .As a result, 269 Commercial Street is among the 3rd most walkable neighborhood in Boston with a neighborhood Walk Score of 99.The proposed site also has access to the Harborwalk, a continuous 43-mile

linear park along Boston’s shoreline that connects Boston’s waterfront neighbourhoods to the Harbor.

CLIMATIC CONDITION

BOSTON, MA

The climate of Massachusetts is mainly a humid continental climate, with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters and abundant precipitation. The state has its share of extreme weather, prone to nor’easters and to severe winter storms.As a result, Summers can bring thunderstorms, averaging around 30 days of thunderstorm activity per year.

Massachusetts averages one tornado per year, like the entire United States eastern seaboard, the area is vulnerable to hurricanes due to its location, which is farther east in the Atlantic Ocean than states farther south. In recent years.

The Swell Cultural Museum already utilizes several design sustainable strategies that are highlighted on the Psychometric Chart.he building takes advantage of the the Waterfront during the winter. The site has a waterfront view,

and its located in North End neighborhood. Due to this and Boston being a city that experiences flooding; the most important strategies incorporated on the site were flood mitigation and sunshading for the facade.

The design employs insulating glass on the truss south facing façade, which has sunshading that blocks the direct sunlight insummer months and permits it to enter in the winter time

FLOOR FUNCTION/ LAYOUTS SMALL SIZE FOOTPRINT

By understading the sun’s location throughout the year; the layout and organization of the floorplans was prioritized. So that the winter sun would be able to penetrates the building during the daytime and most of the spaces could be used for specific functions that coincide with solar orientation throughout the year.

To reduce excessive heating and cooling energy, the proposed Museum only uses 20% of the site. The rest of the site is use for different activities and green spaces for the sorrounding communites.

DESIGN FOR ECONOMY

SQUARE FOOT ESTIMATOR

From this assignment, I came to understand that material usage in construction plays a major role in building design. Good design adds value to the owners, occupants, community, and the planet. As a result, it is important to consider using materials that serve multiple functions; whereby we can eliminate superfluous materials to decrease total cost per square foot. In addition, it is important to choose quality materials that can affect the lifespan of the building. In order to design for economy, we must introduce smart

building strategies such as, understanding upfront and operational costs, knowing the client’s needs, rightsizing, and reusing existing structures.

COST ESTIMATOR

The RS Means is a tools that is used to estimate the cost of a building material. The database contains thousands of line items and cost engineers spend more than 30,000 hours researching and validating the costs every year.

After analyzing the building layout and its circulation; I realized it will not be possible to move the circulation area to the exterior or absorbed this space to any adjacent spaces. Due to the building typology and form most of the Museum’s circulation is centralized, and all the programs are on both sides. The circulation area within the Museum also serves as exhibition spaces.

EMBODIED CARBON IN CONSTRUCTION CALCULATOR (EC3)

Globally , the building and construction sectors play a vital role in minimizing our future carbon footprint. Each year, the built environment contributes almost 40% of global greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Even though the industry’s focus on operational carbon reductions (the energy used to heat, cool, and power our buildings ) has led to many successes. However, the

attention to embodied carbon, the emissions associated with material production and construction processes, has been lagging.

In this assignment we explored the qauntities of concrete and wood material assemblies. As a result, the EC3 tool was to calculate and explore them in terms of

their EPDs, which is their environmental performance and its impact over its lifetime. The Boxplot Chart displays the distribution of data for the cast-in-place concrete flooring.

It highlights for baseline for the embodied carbon that fall at 358 kgCO3e and the achievable target falls at 237.9 kgCO2e.

The three charts compare the concrete EPDs by analyzing data from different plant, manufacturers, and products with the region.

DAYLIGHTING PATTERN GUIDE

PATTERN 1-PLAN

SWELL CULTURAL MUSEUM

1-2 GENERAL MOTORS OFFICE BUILDING

Location: Detroit, MI (1917)

Architect: Albert Kahn and Associates

Floor Plate Area: 59,000 sf

Perimeter Length: 2540 ft

Max. Dist. to Perimeter: 32 ft

Percentage of Area Within 20’ of a Window: 90%

The General Motors Office Building designed by Albert Kahn in 1917 exhibits a building organization that is fundamentally designed around the use of daylight as the primary source of illumination. Kahn designed a building that was almost entirely perimeter to maximize access to daylight. To do this he created thin “finger plan” bars that were spaced far enough apart from one another to avoid reducing access to daylight at the opposing office bar. The first floor, originally designed as an auto showroom

block, far too deep to be daylit from the perimeter alone. However, rooftop skylights located between the office bars allow diffuse “toplight” to illuminate the center of the floor plate and to balance the brightness from the perimeter. Corridor spaces are deliberately illuminated at a very low level to allow users’ eyes to adjust to indoor light levels while moving toward their destination within the building.

Similar to the General Motors Office Building, the proposed museum layout is organized and designed around the use of daylight. Most of the building perimeter for the three blocks maximizes access to daylight, whereby the building opens up to the waterfront and the city views wih expansive windows.

FINGER PLAN

The summer glare and overheating are controlled by use of sun shading for both east and southern facade, and use of insulating glass. The floor plates for the museum is 60 feet and 75 feet, which allows the museum to be illuminated throughout the day. The exhibition spaces have very low level of illumination to allow uses’ eyes to adjust and enjoy the art. PROPOSED GROUND

DAYLIGHTING PATTERN GUIDE

PATTERN 2: 75% GLAZING

WINDOW AREA (HORIZONTAL WINDOW)

A horizontal band of windows at 75% percent of the wall area (nearly 100% of the interior wall area) provides daylight illumination that meets or exceeds commonly accepted minimum daylight illumination criteria at more than 90 percent of the adjacent 26’-0” section. Minimal contrast remains between the interior surfaces and the glazing, and the brightness of the “back” wall (at left) provides a balance of brightness across the section.

WINDOW AREA (HORIZONTAL WINDOW) - SWELL MUSEUM

The window ratio that most closely matches my façade condition is number 7, which has 75% glazing. Similarly, the facade of the building is comprised of insulating glass and channel glass that controls the amount of daylight. The Museum uses daylight to reduce internal heat loads from electric lighting during peak cooling times to enable passive cooling. To achieve this goal, no portion of the building is further

than 10 ft from a window. Solar heat gains and glare are controlled through active and fixed shading devices that are place on the East and South facade.

The proposed museum is a community center that lead its visitors on a voyage of discovery, and serves as a dynamic component of learning.The Proposal

takes visitors on an experiential journey and aim to structure a much-needed dialogue; whereby the museum shares stories of the immigrants and migrant

experience throughout the building. Comprised of three volumes that features a truss that cantilever 100’ above the harbor,the museum employs a hybrid

facade, and intergrates sustainable systems throughout the site. The outdoor and indoor exhibition spaces serves as the heart of the project for the community.

The Museum proposal is designed with the intent of advancing social equity with the North End and its surrounding neighborhoods in Boston. The site is adjacent to the waterfront, and it was once a part of Boston Harbor before dock extensions and fill eventually solidified its status as part of Boston’s North End. It has served as a shipyard, a station and hotel, a mill, a sugar refinery, and a cold storage warehouse before being turned into a parking lot.

In addition, the proposed site is among the waterfront site that the Harborwalk wraps continuously along the Boston shoreline. This public access established an edge between the City and its harbor; as a result, it provides a place for recreation, and creates a zone in which to defend against high tides.

The proposed designed introduced outdoor community performance space, sculptor gardens, and public pool that can be used throughout the day by the community. The building also steps with the site, merging the pedestrian experience by a space-defining ramp that serves all.

DESIGN FOR ECOLOGY

Water Located in North End, Sargent’s Wharf is an active parking lot in the neighborhood that experiences a lot of flooding during high tides and storms. By understanding that the site falls under the Greenway Underlay District, the proposed design aims to create a resilient river front design.

As a result, the proposal explored the idea of converting the site into a climate resilient waterfront by introducing green buffer spaces with native plants along the edges. This was achieved by elevating the landscape that creates a temporary flood barrier, improving the Harborwalk, introducing living shorelines, and increased planting and shade area.

DESIGN FOR WATER

Water systems of the Museum Building are designed to integrate the project into the local ecosystem and ensure the project lives within its water means. By understanding that every drop that leaves the site is a potential polluter further down the stream, the museum utilizes permeable pavers, bioswales, and subsurface storage.

Rainfalls is harvested and channeled to the roof whereby its filtered and stored in a cistern, and this is the primary source for portable water. In addition, if there is a overflow from the cistern the water is directed to the bioswales system and is infiltrated into the ground.

To promote occupants and visitors’ wellness in SWELL- Cultural Museum, I introduced few measures such as introducing curtain wall façade with some sun shading to combat summer sun. The large opening on the south, north and east. The sun shading on the southern façade and the circulation protects the interior spaces that are used for exhibition.

The rotation of the building and different outdoor spaces is created to maintain the connection between the city and the waterfront. To retain good indoor air quality and VOCs level, the museum will use low emitting materials. In addition, the accessible ramps throughout the site and prominent within the building, is a beautiful celebration of inclusion. On either side of the ramp is the irresistible (performance space) with occupiable stair, which encourages movement and interaction.

RESOURCES

The design intent was to design a didactic building that used utilized sustainable material assemblies throughout the building. To reduce embodied carbon associated with materials and construction processes. These evaluations were achieved with the use of Tally and EC3 to analyze material selections and its impact. The main purpose of the EC3 allows benchmarking, assessment, and reductions in embodied carbon, focused on the upfront supply chain emissions of construction materials. While Tally tool a plug-in for Revit was used to Understand the impact of building materials, and traditionally involves Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), an in-depth form of analysis performed on whole buildings, manufactured building products and materials, and material assemblies. This assignment helped me in understanding the different methods one can source construction materials and carbon footprint and cost was very important.

CHANGE

The design of the structural modules means that the floor plans are ready for future changes if needed. By understanding the museum would be a dynamic building, the whole building is designed to handle change whereby the building structural system is based on the Warren Truss system. As a result, the 100’ cantilever creates a performance space that is flexible and can be used by the community.

The rainwater system is designed to handle the rainfall and will be able provide portable water for the irrigation of the landscape and its native plants.

The proposed SWELL Cultural Museum was conceived as a place of discovery for the current community and future generation. Its mission would be to recognize the dynamic component of learning and should be able to lead its visitors on a voyage of discovery. Therefore, focal point will be its interactive permanent collection that defines the building and unify all aspects of the design.

These collections would reveal information otherwise forgotten and educate on topics related to the site and should be able to take visitors on an experiential journey that would structure the much-needed dialogue between the past and present.

COTE SPREADSHEETS

The overall project reached its main target, which was to recognize the dynamic component of learning that should lead its visitors on a voyage of discovery. The main objective of the museum was to create a museum that celebrates the history of North End and integrates sustainable system throughout the building to increase its performance in community engagements, ecology use of water, energy, and wellness. Through the Harborwalk (public access walkway) and Cultural Connector (Harbor Cruise), public pool, and green public spaces, the Museum maintains its connection with the city and its community.

The museum project main goal is to celebrates its community rich past by creating a didactic building that will engage, inspire, and celebrate the site’s history. Through integrated design the museum will introduces sustainable strategies that will understand and support the existing site conditions. By analyzing the results from all the measures; the SWELL Cultural Center can utilize the different measures highlighted on the COTE Spreadsheet to understand how the building will perform in the future.
